Lovely scenes, and a very nice complement to North America and Scotland.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ending the year with a sunny ride.

[Patrick Moore]

Man, I haven't done 4K miles since about 2006-7. Just a spit away from 2100
this year, usual inhibitor (2,070 today) with hope eternal of a 3K norm,
but I plan to retro-add tomorrow's morning ride to church to the 2020 total
and round up by 15s; we'll see.

Congrats on both miles and spouse.

[RBW] WTB: Drop Bar/Stem/Brake/Shifter set up

[Damien]

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking to see if anyone has a drop bar, stem, 
shifter, and brake lever set up they are looking to rid themselves of. Let 
me know what you have! I'm looking to switch from my current Albatross set 
up on the ol' Sam.

Thanks all!

Awesome photos of a gorgeous country.
The Shimanami Kaido is on my bike ride bucket list, as is the San’in Route 
Romantique.  Someday.

Takashi,

Your Hunqapillar has always looked just right in the spectacular landscape 
you get to ride in. Love the nod to the non-aero brake levers and drop bars 
on this iteration of your Hunq.

Happy New Year!

Wow. Awesome in the true sense of that word. And a hot bath stop. It really 
couldn't get more civilized than that. Great ride to ring out the old and 
bring in the new!

[RBW] Re: Ending the year with a sunny ride.

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Congrats on 4K miles and on winning yourself a new riding partner. I hope 
she’s bitten by the bug and we get to see her riding her own shiny, new 
Rivendell on subsequent threads. She’ll not likely get in on the Platypus 
run but the Clem Ls are coming! (I say this assuming she wants a 
mixte/stepthrough since that’s what she rides presently.)

I wish I was ending the year on my RaspberryRiv but I’ll be on my 
snowmobile instead. Soon enough, though! Yes, I echo your wish that 
everyone get the miles they are hoping for in 2021.

Happy New Year!
Leah
